Dear Ms. Manuell:

Please find enclosed my resume as application for the position of kitchen helper and pantry as advertised in your Summer Jobs 2012 Applicant Information Package. I have completed grade nine family studies and enjoyed working as part of a team to complete our weekly recipe assignment in cooking class, I enjoyed the class so much that I am enrolled in the second semester grade ten family studies class and there is a cooking segment as part of the class.

As part of the family studies class I successfully completed the food safety program and I am now certified to assist with food and baking production and preparation. I feel that I am well organized and this skill will help me maintain a safe working environment.

My teachers document on my report cards that I am a quick learner when faced with new tasks. I also meet challenges with a positive attitude. While employed at McDonald’s I was recognized as Employee of the Month because of my work ethic and commitment to my team.

I look forward to hearing from you about this opportunity. I am positive that my ability to work well with others, my initiative, and experience will help to create a positive summer experience at G.B. Catering.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,



Carol Smith
